My mum lives alone in a Housing Association house - she's lived there since 1969. The Association has been through some mergers/takeovers, and they don't take their responsibilties to a vulnerable tennant at all seriously. For example, they don't have a way of recording that mum is a Vulnerable Adult, they write to her at her address, in spite of me having an LPA.
They give her phone number and address out to third parties all the time, the latest to a decorator, who I have to try to get hold of before he calls on mum and scares the bejesus out of her.
Does anyone know what their legal obilgations are? Obviously she won't be the only Vulnerable Adult tennant they have - I would guess perhaps 1 in 20 to 1 in 50, so dozens or hundreds across all their premises, but without knowing what they should be doing, it's hard to hold them to account. Any references or links welcome.
thanks
Robin
